RCDP Nepal

I volunteered at Ruhunu Children Ophganage in Galle, Sri Lanka. I stayed with a local host family. The organiser and host father, Michael was outstanding. He helped me and the other volunteers in every aspect of our trip. Explaining the Sri Lankan culture, taking us on a 4 day trip around the country visiting many historical sites, and organising SIM cards. He know a lot about the area, making it easy to get around, visit the best places and shops. His extended family were great fun to be around. The family was always around chatting and sharing a meal. It is a very homely atmosphere. Everything was flexible, from hours spent volunteering at the the orphanage to going on trips or going out for dinner. I met a few other volunteers while I was here and we would catch up for a meal or go to the beach. The host mother was a fantastic cook and I loved the Sri Lankan food. She would cater for vegetarians or those who can't tolerate much spice. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone. RCDP Sri Lanka is a very affordable, safe and flexible volunteering option.
